Being said that, Harry behaves humanly towards wounded people, the misfits, those who are going through hell, since he is recognizing that his own hell is in close proximity to theirs and not much different. “I’m crap at judging people” Harry told somewhere in the middle of the investigation. Is it so? I perceive it as a «Tragic Ιrony», as we know that the only one who has drawn false impressions was Harry’s chief. During the case Hole is acting as a responsible, audacious and sober man. The ethnic identities of the Hutu and Tutsi were reshaped and mythologized by the colonisers. Christian missionaries promoted the theory about the "Hamitic" origins of the kingdom, and referred to the distinctively Ethiopian features and hence, foreign origins, of the Tutsi "caste". These mythologies provided the basis for anti-Tutsi propaganda in the following decades, as, after World War II, a Hutu emancipation movement began to grow in Rwanda, fuelled by an increasing sympathy for the Hutu within the Catholic Church.

It is disappointing that Hage falls for a similar indifference like his protagonist while treating this novel. Mukasonga] describes with humility the daily inferno that was her family’s existence during the years before the massacre in the spring of ’94…Sholastique Mukasonga cannot obtain reparations for the horrors she endured, but here she accomplishes a feat of memory and a story of surprising sobriety.” –Urobepi, Coups de Coeurs Littéraires (Et Plus) Harry might have some reputation in the press as a good detective, after catching a serial killer in Australia [‘The Bat’] , but in his current state he makes a very poor initial impression. After his mentally handicapped sister gets raped by an unidentified assailant, Harry sinks into a crippling depression that he tries to drown by heavy drinking in his local pub. His trip to Bangkok might be the last chance he has to save his job, or just an empty gesture from political actors who are setting him up to fail.

Ψάχνοντας περισσότερο με το τέλος της ανάγνωσης, βρήκα ότι έμεινε στην πρωτεύουσα της Ταϋλάνδης για μήνες. Το έναυσμα για το ταξίδι του Χάρι εκεί, είναι η δολοφονία του Νορβηγού πρέσβη υπό μυστηριώδεις συνθήκες και η πιθανή σύνδεσή του με κυκλώματα παιδεραστίας. In this survivor’s account of the Rwandan genocide, her first name is her savior. Scholastic achievement helps separate her destiny from that of her supportive Tutsi family. After receiving everyone’s blessing, she rises through various academic levels, despite Hutu disapproval, until she’s a full-fledged social worker teaching women about the nutritional superiority of soybeans. She marries a French man with whom she has two children. Thanks to education and effort, she achieves the impossible for so many in her culture. But establishing a different life causes anguish. In a coded letter, her parents describe how “it’s raining harder” than it ever has before, suggesting elevated instances of Hutu aggression. Ultimately, Mukasonga writes to maintain the memory of the thirty-seven family members killed during the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Alongside a gift for breaking and entering, the narrator prides himself on his ability to lay bare the true natures of those who surround him. “I see people for what they are.
